Breakfree CLP has been used by the military for years in -60 to 100 degrees,
on every thing from weapons to lubricating hinges. It repels dirt, water,
salt, and never gets sticky but what do I know.

Re: Tailgate hard to move...suggestions?
That's what I heard about the Break-Free stuff. I went to the Ace hardware
store looking for it because it's website said it was there. Wasn't there so
I picked up this Ace Lub-E Super Penetration Lubricant. I sprayed the crap
out of the hinges and have been working the gate back and forth. After a few
applications and about 5 hours, it is getting easier. I'll try it some more
later tonight after the game.

up to 25,000 feet are roughly equal to the probability of drivin' the damn
thing to the summit of Mt. Everest:) The aircraft was just for illustration
